Haunted

Every time I hear the term "haunted," I get a little irritated, knowing that ghosts don't exist. It seems that I've been overlooking the other uses of the term but I was reminded last night.

I was watching a movie last night with my husband. We hadn't been out much recently and he knew of a drive-in theater; I'd never been to one. In the middle of the movie, there was an image of a dead woman. The camera zoomed in on her face, white and eyes wide. That was enough for me. I had to turn from the screen and asked hubby if we could leave. Anyway, he was falling asleep - as usual - so he wasn't exactly disheartened to go.

That image, though, was enough to get my heart racing and my blood pumping. That one image of a dead woman and I keep seeing it in my head even now. All the memories of nightmares since I was little started running through my mind. Growing up, I had so many of them of dead people, I've lost count. I still have bouts of them that last through a week or two. Just nightmares. Just dead people.

I just got over one of those bouts. This is about the third week since my last nightmare. That was the last after two weeks solid of nightmares with dead people.

So, with that image in the movie causing such disarray in my heart and mind, I realize that I am haunted in a way. (well, I figured that demons following me around counts as being haunted, but I think my point comes across. Well, I hope.)

It was just a strange realization that I felt worth sharing and also, maybe a sign that now is a good time to ask for some help in prayer. So, anyone out there, if you could, please whisper a few words. Thank you all and God bless you.

Vision.

  1. I'm a Christian. I'm an Empath. (I too struggle with that term.) And when I was younger I felt like I was haunted. Here's what helped me.

    [1] Talk to God about it first. Pray, vent, whatever you want to call it. Be honest and authentic even if it feels like rage. (Have you read the Psalms? Talk about spilling you guts: the good, the bad and the ugly.) After all, God knows our hearts. And when I don't know what to say, I pray this: Psalm 139:23-24 "Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."

    [2] Protect yourself. I'm guessing as a fellow empath you are fairly good at visualizing. Use scripture like Ephesians 6:10-17. See yourself putting on the full armor of God. Visualize each piece. Make it real. Or pick another verse you like about God's protection, like Psalm 32:7 "You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance."

    [3] Ground yourself. That is to say, know yourself. Know who you are. You are a child of God, a daughter of Christ, Imago Dei (made in the image of God), a sacred creation. And as His creation, He did not leave us powerless. 2 Timothy 1:7 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline."

    [4] Ignore them. I know, this was a hard concept for me to grasp too, but hear me out. Spirits feed on energy. Your fears and anxieties are like a food source for them. So, turn off the source. When they come to you, say it and mean it. "Whatever. I don't have time for you. You're bothering me. Go away." Practice it. Mean it. Say to yourself, "I don't care." It may feel like a lie at first, but keep saying it until you really mean it. Laugh at them if you can. Think about it. If fear is dark energy, then laughter is light. It's full of joy and dark spirits HATE that. If they are really strong and very persistent, then pull out the big guns, so to speak. Tell them. "I belong to God. You have no power here. In the name of Jesus I cast you out of this room, out of this house, out of my life in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." I've never had anything stick around after that. They HAVE to go.

    I hope this helps you. Feel free to e-mail me if you like.

  3. Dreaming that much of dead people can be many reasons. One it could be a wise thing to seek medical advice if you are feeling ill. It could be a warning. It is so true though as to not fear any dead that may come to you. If indeed you are gifted in any way, your fear can subconsciously have you build a dark energy. I knew I was different since a toddler. I did not actually know til way later in life that what gifts I had. I was always Empathic. Then as I got older, I really thought my head was going to explode with all sorts of knowledge and visions. Yes, these gifts are from our God. I found out ignoring them at the beginning put myself and my family in many nights of terror. So much noise, electrical switches going off in the night, I had to make a decision. I told myself I am going to hit this straight on and if it be a demon or evil entity it had to stop. When I accepted who I really was and my true path, all the noises stopped. I did seek help though through a Christian group that understood what I was going through. I educated myself. The classes were on spiritual cleansing and healing. I do see and sometimes am called from a person who has passed that is lost. I help them pass over to their journey. Indeed I can also say that in no way is my life easy being gifted. I have learned to never reply to any voice or passed person that is demeaning or repeating themselves. It takes years to understand what you are dealing with. I have strict rules and never without the help of God, Jesus and the Angels. Yes indeed those with these gifts carry a light like a beacon. So if someone is lost and in the dark where they go to is the light. It indeed is not an easy task either. These gifts in no way are entertaining like some on shows on the television. It is a spiritual path that I believe we chose and was given to us. Indeed though those lost see your light, others do also whether dark entities or demons I do not know, but indeed where there is good, evil does not like it also. I never call the dead. In my whole life it may of been two times in a dangerous situation. I believe it is not right for anyone to call those that have passed. Pray for them. There is so much we do not know and will never know til it is our time. So being an Empath is no fun thing. It seems with all these tests on the computer all want to be an Empath. Day by day it is a struggle especially when you are trying to teach younger ones in the family that are gifted. It is a gift a curse but in all times, it is your path spiritually. In no way is it glamorous like we see on television. Believe me if you talked and called the dead you could not get up the next morning. They use your energy. If you need any questions answered or help you also can email me. God Bless, Love and Light. goldenjmm
